Public bug reported:
Boinc Manager and Boinc Client cannot start in Xubuntu 20.10 due to an RPC
issue.
Boinc Manager starts with a connection error - gui_rpc_auth.cfg exists but
cannot be read. Check the file permission. - The file is a link and flagged as
root/root in the var/lib/boinc and points to the /etc/boinc as root/boinc
a sudo boinc leads to the following messages on the terminal.
